 Mayor York and Corporation Counsel c. T. Driscoll, of New Haven, were before the
 committee on cities and boroughs this after
 noon and advocated the resolution authoriz- ing New Haven to issue $175, ,000 worth of | sewerage bonds. The bonds are for the
 Kimberly avenue or boulevard sewer. After | the purpose for which the bonds were intend
 ed had been explained Senator Leach asked
 Mayor York if Senator Gallagher was in
 favor of the resolution He replied in the
 affirmative and said further that the matter l was one of the few which we all agree upon l down in New Haven.
 ''How is the Derby railroad matter pro- l gressing?" asked Senator Leach; "haven't
 you finished it up yeti"
 "Oh, we've only just about commenced on 1 it," replied Mayor York. Summer is fast
 approaching and we want something to do during the warm weather"
 The committee at the executive session
 held after the hearing decided to report fa- | vorably on the resolution.
 MT. Charles Fabrique, of New Haven, ! appeared before the committee humane institutions in favor of the resolution con \ corning delinquent parents. The bill pro vides that fathers of illegitimate children 1 who shall fail to support their offspring shall be liable to criminal pro cess. The penalty provided is ninety days in jail. Attorney Bacon, a trustee ot the Middletown Indus trial school, also favored it. Ex-Council- man Chillingworth, of New Haven, appeared before the committee this afternoon and
 spoke strongly in favor of the bill which is
 now being considered by the committee and
 relating to baby farms. It empowers the
 prosecuting attorney or the board of select
 men to investigate and enter them any time
 of the day or night. MT. Chillingworth was
 unable to be present at the regular hearing on the bill,
 Of all the committee hearings perhaps the most amusing to attend is the one on agri- culture. Matters appertaining to the farmers of the State are here considered and the tes- timony given by some of the honest grangers at times is Imaginable. The bill relating to damages to sheep by dogs was given hear ing before this committee to-day. Many farmers, sheep raisers, dog owners and other interested parties were in attendance. Every thing went along smoothly. Sheep owners who had suffered from dogs who thirsted for sheep's blood told how small remuneration they were receiving and advocated the bill which provided that higher price be paid l for all sheep chewed up by bloodthirsty ca- hines.
 The committee seemed favorably impress ed by the testimony and the next bill on the | calendar was about to be taken up when up rose MT. Andrews and made a statement | like this:
 "Gentlemen of the committee, there is not i a sheep in this State worth $25. There is l not a COW in this State whose value is $100." |
 A member of the committee thought there I were exceptions and told MT. Andrews that I he was laboring under a strong hallueina- ton.
 "No, gentlemen, ,''replied MT. Andrews, ,"there l is not COW in this State worth $1o0. There may be instances where a COW may be so fattened that a butcher would pay more for her."
 The farmers in the room began to giggle and then laugh and finally there was 8 roar of laughter in unison.
 t'I like to make remarks against other peo- ole's judgment" remarked MT. Andrews. Mr. Andrews told the committee, in conelu- sion, that if they could agree on a bill more general in it's terms he would favor it. It is not known whether MT. Andrews is 8 dog breeder or trustee of the Humane society. I It was whispered about the committee room, however, that he had invested and lost heav- 1 ly Ion cows"
 The Hon. John M. Hall, e1 Speaker of the House, was before the committee on fisheries his afternoon in behalf of G. W. Turner, l who asks that all persons be prohibited from | sking fish from North lake in towns of He ,roR and Lebanon. The hearing on this natter was adjourned over to Friday after 1oon.

L. Houston, w. c. Skinner Percy Bryant, John ,. Stoten of Hartford, MT. King of Enfield Jol A. E.. Burr of the Hartford Times made strong argument in favor. Mayor Bulkeley B in opposition.
